>- see footer for list info -< Yes, CGI is a global scope that provides access to server variables.
And yes, Application is another global scope, that is available for an individual application (but not other applications). There are quite a few others, depending on context. Here's a page that explains them: http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6/Developing_ColdFusion_MX_Applications_with_CFML/Variables7.htm If you're using a framework (eg: Fusebox) there can be multiple entry/exit points, but otherwise you've either got: - Application.cfm/OnRequestStart.cfm entry/exit. - Application.cfc component, which contains onApplicationStart/Stop, onSessionStart/Stop, onRequestStart/Stop. There are books available, but I'm not sure what to recommend; I'm not much of a book-learnery person. Other ways to learn is to just read mailing lists ( like this one, or CF-Talk on houseoffusion.com ) and also blogs ( eg: fullasagoog.com, feed-squirrel.com, weblogs.macromedia.com ) On Fri, Mar 21, 2008 at 12:49 PM, Nick Middleweek < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >- see footer for list info -< > Thanks for all the replies... > > I'll check the application.cfm and .cfc if it exists when back to work on > Tuesday... > > I'm guessing by this line: CGI.SCRIPT_NAME - that CGI is an object.
